I have really struggled to find someone local that works on the vw conversions Are you a vw fan Robert or do you work on them it’s always good to have a local contact. Do you have a website?

Just a vw fan but can do the basics on them...

Just joined after buying a 68 plate T6 Highline panel van for my job

It's a little battered ex Addison Lee courier van but nothing a little tlc won't fix and a new passenger door which I have already bought for £150

109k with VW service history 12.5k +VAT (I'm VAT registered) so I think at the moment I got a good deal.

Had a P018300 code recently and thanks to this forum already, I guess I will be looking for a broken wire on the fuel temp sensor

Cheers

Darren

Haven't been on for a while, bit busy with work.

I am based in Wellingborough and anybody around has probably already spotted my van (currently with hard roof tent)

I managed to fix the fuel temp issue

Welcome aboard. We had a vote and it was almost unanimous to let you in.

 

[Gozzie11]

Phew!!!!

What ya got/getting van-wise and what are your plans for it?

 

[Gozzie11]

There’s a question! Looking at buying our first van for conversion, looking at a 4 year old low mileage 204 biturbo but apprehensive about committing due to engine failures! Any thoughts?

No experience of the bi-turbos TBH. There's a few on here that have had problems, but that's the nature of forums - you get a skewed view due to those with problems being more vocal than those without. Hopefully someone with a 204 will be along shortly to share their views.

Are you going full camper, day van or something more specialised (mobile bierkeller/chip shop/disco )?

yes full conversion, we used to have a Peugeot Boxer Autosleeper that we had for four years but changed that for a caravan! Want to tow with the Transporter and have the benefit of day/Weekend van use too!

Okay, well, I hope you find a good base van and enjoy the conversion process - keep everyone posted on progress and maybe, consider posting a build thread(?).
